Bug#284853: kde: Media handling from desktop icon is broken

No, the Konqueror window is closed.

In the KDE Control Center under KDE Components -> Service Manager you find the
KDED Mount Watcher. It is even running. The bad part is that in contrast to
the other distribution I want to migrate from it doesnt seem to work.

Both. But I checked with lsof and found this interesting line:
kdeinit 3800 ronny 12r BLK 22,0 161185 /dev/hdc
So, kdeinit is the culprit here. It does not release the device after
unmounting.

I use a fresh install of Debian testing and I didnt touch any config file.
Because it works with all other distributions I tested it must be a Debian
bug.
